True. If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases due to vasodilation, which ultimately increases the net filtration pressure.

The filtration of blood occurs in the kidney, an excretory organ. The kidney is composed of numerous small units called nephrons, which is responsible for the blood filtration.

Glomerulus is part of nephron and the glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle of the kidney. This process is driven by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure.

These pressures are collectively called net filtration pressure, which is influenced by the diameter of afferent arterioles.

If the arterioles constricts, net filtration pressure will decrease and if arterioles dilates, net filtration pressure will increase. This mechanism is regulated by neural, renal and hormonal regulation.

What experimental apparatus has been used to study depth perception in infants?
Maksim231197 [3]
The answer is visual cliff. This apparatus was shaped by psychologists Eleanor J. Gibson and Richard D. Walk at Cornell University to examine depth perception in human and animal species. This apparatus permitted them to experimentally adjust the optical and tactical stimuli associated with a simulated cliff while protecting the subjects from injury. The visual cliff consists of a sheet of glass with a patterned cloth under it to simulate the appearance of a cliff.
